You know how much I love a good Pantry Challenge, right? Well, a few weeks ago Becky Worley, a reporter for Good Morning America, contacted me and asked me to advise her on how to have a successful pantry challenge. I flew up to her home in Oakland last week where we raided her cupboard and […]

TAKE THE CHALLENGE

Make a quick fix dinner of sausages and potatoes topped with an herbed sour cream sauce. The recipe is super versatile, allowing you to mix up the herbs with what you have on hand.

Potato Salad is one of those summer dishes that is filling without heating you up. It goes great with grilled meats, sandwiches, and salad buffet meals. And, it’s a great after-anything kind of snack. Once upon a time, our local grocery store deli served the best potato salad. Tangy, but not too sweet. And hubs […]

This week I found myself getting into the groove of the pantry challenge. I baked more. I created a few new recipes, such as Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas as well as Pumpkin Scones (coming soon). I had some flops as well as some successes. And other than going without milk for a couple days, […]

Doing a Pantry Challenge often gets my creative juices flowing. Since I have told myself to make due with what I have, I have to think creatively — or eat bland, boring meals. These enchiladas are the happy result of thinking creatively in the kitchen. Normally, I make enchiladas with cheese or shredded chicken or […]

This month I’ve challenged myself to make the most of what we already have. The challenge has only been in full force for about a week. That holiday weekend and the accompanying trip out of town kinda threw a wrench in my plans. And I do confess to stocking up on a few really good […]

We love to grill around here. Let me count the ways. Grilled Vegetable Kabobs Orange-Ginger Chicken Grilled Tri-tip Grilled Pizza Grilled Meatloaf Tandoori Chicken Fish Tacos Ok, you get the point, right? Summertime is the ideal time to cook out. But, alas, if you don’t have a good grill — or a bad grill for […]

It’s been about a week since I “officially” declared my pantry challenge. And of course, we went out of town for three days rather spontaneously, as soon as I said that. We woke up on Sunday morning and decided to head to the grandparents’ for the 4th. I was lucky to remember toothbrushes and clean […]

One of the beauties of a pantry challenge is that it compels you to try things that you might not normally try as well as make the most of what you have. I love this tutorial from Amanda which will help you produce a beautiful home baked loaf in no time. I’m really into baking bread and bread products. […]
